A REVIEW.
[Continued from first page.l

The fourth chapter seems to
have been written especially for
the benefit of the Socialist cause,
since it very skllfully though per-
haps unintentionally, demonstrates
the fallacy of calling this a "free
country" The use of the COVER
nors, it seems, is ITO call out the
militia and stay the progress of
revolution" whatever may be the
public opinion on the matter,
the following opinion from vio-
lent anti-Socialist is not a little
remarkable: III all legislation
soye open TO yevisim BY popular
voaf, ii sponld not take long for So
ciaiishe dtmagcgnes to induce vOtfrs
10 kgisiaf themselves into all tie
advantages that a Redistribution of
scsaiM might a6ona." ! commend
this to the attention of the said
"demagogues." with the earnest
hope that they may shortly be
able to prove its veracity.

tiers in which values, cost, wages
and other matters are discussed
in more or less confused man
ner, we come to chapter fourteen,
in which DR.. Hill, like most au-
thors of his kind, finally proposes
something of his own which shall
cure the evils of society, that
something being in every case
nothing less than Socialism!
There are four remedies needed
needed, says DR.. Hill. educahon,
cooperation, continuation, and the
suppression of monopolies. What
more could a Socialist desire2
Even the last alone would utterly
annihilate the present system, and
universal cooperation would be
the basis of the new! rThe fact is
DR.. Hill is like the modern CHRIS
tian, he very strongly advocates
all measure for the public good,
and is a great disbeliever in mo-
nopoly, but learning that we pro-
pose to put those measures into
action, and to suppress monopo-
lies "Oh, no, didn't mean that
that's Socialistic, and very wicked
indeed!" There is sometimes
great gulf fixed between good
principles and good practice. or
even the desire of it.
DR.. Hill in another chapter tries
to show that we are in all respects
better off than formerly, and
therefore ought to be content.
1t would take too long to demon
strate the fallacy of this first prop
osition in the present article, but
even assuming for the sake of ar
gument that it were so, ought not
the question rather to be, are we
as well off as we might be? Is
the man who needs a coat to rest
content because he is better off
than yesterday, when he lacked
even a shirt?
Chapter eighteen is supposed to
be summary of the power and
organizations fSocialism through
out the world. Its general accu-
racy may be measured by the
statement that "In England there
is said to be neither organ nor
organization that comes to public
notice for the advancement of
Socialism"
Finally, DR.. Hill makes the oft
repeated query. why don't you
try it experimentally?" though at
the same time he seems fully con-
scious of the absurdity of the
proposition. Socialism is a scheme
for the reorganization of society.

as a whole it must be applied. He

show you how all this, majestic as
it seems, may easily be done-no,
not easily, but nevertheless accom-
plished, and being accomplished,
the after-work of the forces of
Justice should not be difficult.
In concluding this long letter |
desire to say that the most sensi-
bic remark ! have seen in any
labor paper lately ] met with in
the Workmen's AdvoeaN of New
Haven, Connecticut. 1t was in
the shape of a suggestion that all
workingmen abstain from voting
for the space Of one year. 1flhad
any influence with the voters in
the labor ranks I would have
them abstain wholly from the use
of the ballot unless by its use they
were certain of obtaining an ad-
vantage not otherwise obtainable.
The futile attempts to gain polit-
ical power or place have done
more to demoralize US than all
the harsh measures taken by cap
ital, per Sc. The marching of
thousands of tired workingmen
under rag banners to expensive
halls, with bands of music, to hear
the virtues of candidates pro-
claimed, when it was we'll known
that those same candidates were
to be defeated on the morrow,
cost the labor party of Chicago
last year many thousands of dol
lars. Yet the election of Nelson
was an assured fact had the poll
ticians(1) in charge ofthe canvass
acted politically. 1t was some
thing more than surmised that
some of these same politicians
took money OF the republican
party; if they did they can find it
to-day red with the blood of the
martyrs.
! shall have two or three letters
to write explanatory of what will
be required of the new Hercules,
and why it will be required. and
hope the audience will be attentive
and ask any question they may
see fit to ask on the subject in
hand. Very respectfully,
WM. CLARKE MARSHALL.

might just as well ask the peace
party in a war to try peace exper-
mentally, and as a consequence
be annihilated by the enemy.
Labor and monopoly are at war,
and it must be peace on both
sides, which can only be gained
by the suppression of monopoly
before Scialism can be tried ex-
perimentally or otherwise. To
this end let us strive.

Mineral oil has been found so album

the poor have now q light far superior
to the candles and whale oil Of our an
cestors. and quite rs cheap. But while
natural oil and gas is being found almost
everywhere. the region southeast of our
lake system. and the country south of
the Caspian Sea furnish the largest sup
plies of petroleum. Unrefined oil costs
only about 75 cents barrel in New
York City. but the supplies from the
Caspian sea wells are simply prodigious.

are to construct pipe hne. such as we
have in this country. so that the oil can
be discharged into vessels on the Cas-

all parts Of Europe. The Russian has

Anthracite was discovered in Penn.

traditions that have been handed down
about him must have been kind Of

come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region and opened an inn on the
summit of the Broad Mountain. For q
time he led wandering existence. hunt
ing. fishing and numbering. while his
wife attended to the wants of thirsty
travellers. In one Of his hunting excur-
sions he camped out at the foot Of the
Broad Mountain, at a spot where coal
vein cropped out, and, upon lighting
fire, Has astonished at the intense heat
it threw of. He also saw that
some of the black stone had be-
come red hot. He dug some Of it.
and carried it home. where his wife,
more practical than himself, pronounced
it coal. They saw the coal crop in
abundance, and visions of fortunes that
might be realized out of it flashed
through their minds simultaneously.
So, disposing of their effects. they loaded
two large covered wagons with the coal.
and set our for Philadelphia, with the
intention Of marketing it there and dis
covering its true value. They drove
along the banks Of the Schuylkill. sleep
ing in the open air at night. At Potts
town three of their horses died, and the
coal was dumped into the river. Wearied
and disheartened. the pair returned to
the old place at the summit Of the noun.

faithful wife to rest over the coal vein
that proved their ruin. and turned his
face toward the West, where. after an
career. he enlisted for the
